The NFL Is Horseshit

But it's fun.
What I mean is...
they don't care about fans. It's a joke. Ever since corporate sponsorship hit them at the stadium level, the rest is just pretending like they want you to be there. I would say for every corporate box pays for one section of a stadium. What they want are people in the stands to look like they care. Whip up the frenzy. Nothing was more sad then seeing Jacksonville's stadium when they played Kansas City. A quit cut to the stadium showed it pretty blank. And the franchise is typically punished for having this occur.

They don't care about that. Because the corporate box seats were already paid for years in advance. The rest is beer and pizza money. As are the merchandise sale. In fact, they pretty much give away the tickets and the food prices and parking pay for the operational costs. NFL owners are business people first.
If we boil down the reality of it all, nothing really comes from their pockets.
I wonder if the guys back in the good old days felt the fans were what they work for. I'm not sure. I think they truly wanted to get a spike on a win. I think most old White curmudgeons like that adrenaline of watching his plantation play against someone else's plantation. And, we've been lapping it up and supporting it.
Yes, the players are paid well, but you have to wonder....if this is level of amusement is beneficial for society (it isn't. We're watching people beat each other to a pulp for fun, risking their health for sport). In a way, we are responsible for a certain decline of civilization by supporting it. Which I'm not the one to stop it. We're too far gone into lethargy. But..,I get the feeling when we all have a collective awakening, it's going to don on us how primitive we really are.
